David, I actually rewatched a few episodes to prepare for the build. It was way cooler when I was 8!😉

Are you going to 'electrify the hull' Doug? (Pesky giant squids!!) 🙂

Ha! I think I accidentally did that when I let the conning tower leds touch the aluminum tape!

I'll give this five sonar pings! I've got this in my stash, also with lighting. Also picked up the sea lab as a stand for the flying sub. Ideally, you need to make a purple seaweed monster as a stand for the Seaview, complete with a web of fibreoptic lightning!

Thanks for the kind comments. John, you inspired me. Putting it out there: what VBS giant monster should I create for a diorama?

I was thinking of the regularly appearing creature that looked like it was made of purple seaweed. It had two glowing red eyes on stalks. Given the size of the creature, you might be better off making a suit to wear!. The alternative is a bearded scientist in a chunky cardigan. Who can forget that episode!

I found a S2 episode called Deadly Creature Below! (Exclamation point NOT mine!) Is this it? [img1]

Yes, those are the ones. That's the sea lab I mentioned in the foreground of the second pic. The flying sub docks on top of it, so it makes a useful stand.

I'm a little confused, is this in 1:128 or 1:350 scale? The album shows 1:350, but the kit reference shows 1:128

TWN Thanks for catching this. I confused it with my Enterprise. You are correct.

you should make a giant creature holding it like in the picture (either one)

Great idea, Ben. I like John's suggestion that I just make a costume and be in the picture myself! I'm thinking hard about doing the bug-eyed creatures from the first pic. I like the idea of an "overlay" where I can add the creature or take it away depending on what mood I'm in!
I've seen lots of great custom bases out there designed to look like the sea bottom. That's cool too. I love the Sealab idea John suggested but the Paragraphix one is 75 USD, so if I make it, it will be a custom job!

Got to say that all of the positive comments really inspire me to work hard. Thanks very much, guys.

Album info
Lighting is almost complete, including the diabolically tricky Bridge.
